The investigation measured twelve anthropometric dimensions with the subject in standing and seated positions as appropriate. The data are divided into baby boomer and pre-baby boomer samples by sex. Subjects were selected to represent the general U. S. population according to age and sex. The dimensions are reported for the total sample as well as the 40 subjects that participated in the driver comfort sutdy. All results were compared to the U. S. Army survey reported by Gordon et al (1989) and lie within ratios of .95 to 1.043 of the Army results.
